An agitatable coloring utensil is an apparatus that spins the tip of a drawing, coloring, or writing utensil as the user is using the drawing, coloring, or writing utensil. The apparatus includes a tubular body, a marking tip, a motor, a portable power source, and at least one user control. The tubular body is the structural housing for the other component of the apparatus and allows the user to have a firm grasp of the apparatus while using the apparatus to write or draw. The motor is used to drive the rotation of the marking tip. The portable power source is used to electrically power the motor and allows the apparatus to be easily transportable by the user. The user control allows the user to either activate, deactivate, or adjust the rotation of the marking tip.
